Introduction
At up to fifteen times the speed of previous wireless devices (up to 108Mbps in
Super AG mode), you ca n work faster a nd more efficiently , increa sing productivity .
With the DWL-AG530, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or
multimedia will benef it significantly be cause large files are a ble to move a cross
the network quickly .
Inclusion of all three standards (802.11g; 802.11a; 802.11b) means that the
DWL-AG530 is versatile enough to allow connection to almost any 802.11
network or device.
The D WL-AG530 ha s the newest, strongest a nd most adva nced security features
available today. When used with other 802.11 WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected
Access/Wi-Fi Protected Access 2
network with a RADIUS server, the security features include:
WPA/WPA2: Wi-Fi Protected Access/Wi-Fi Protected Access 2
authorizes and identifie s users based on a se cret key that changes automatically
at regular intervals. WPA/WPA2 uses TKIP (T emporal Key Integrity Protocol)
to change the temporal key every 10,000 pa ckets (a pa cket is a kind of message
transmitted over a network.) This ensures much greater security than the
standard WEP security. (By contrast, the previous WEP encryption
implementations required the keys to be changed manually.)

security for the DWL-AG530, used in conjunction with other WPA/WPA2compatible 802.1 1 products, will still be much stronger than ever before. Utilizing
the Pre- Shared Key mode of WPA/WPA2, the D WL-AG530 will obtain a new
security key every time it connects to the 802.11 network. You only need to
input your encryption information once in the configuration menu. No longer will
you have to manually input a new WEP key frequently to en sure se curity. With

Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-touse and compatible high-speed wirele ss connectivity within your home, business
or public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you
access to the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to
enjoy the freedom that wireless networking brings.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits
and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used
increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as
airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN
technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently.
Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure
have proven to be beneficial for many users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network.
Wireless adapter cards used on laptop a nd de sktop syste ms support the same
protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.

Page 7
Wireless Basics (continued)
People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:
Mobility – Productivity increases when people have access to data in any
location within the operating range of the WLAN. M anage ment decisions ba sed
on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency.
Low Implementation Costs – WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change
and relocate. Networks that frequently cha nge can benef it from WLANs ea se of
implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring
may be impractical.
Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be
fa st and ea sy a nd can eli minate the need to pull cable through walls a nd ceilings.
Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even
outside the home or office.
Inexpensive Solution – Wireless network devices are a s competitively priced
a s conventional Ethernet network devices.
Scalability – WLANs ca n be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs
of specific a pplications a nd installations. Configurations are ea sily cha nged a nd
range from Peer-to-Peer networks suita ble for a small number of users to larger
Infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users,
depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.
The DWL-AG530 is compatible with the f ollowing wirele ss products:
D-Link AirPremier
Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers
D-Link AirPremier
Wireless Access Points

Standards-Based Technology
The DWL-AG530 Wireless PCI Adapter utilizes the 802.11a, 802.1 1b and 802.1 1g
standard.
The IEEE 802.11g sta ndard is a n extension of the 802.1 1b sta ndard. It increa ses
the data rate up to 54 Mbps within the 2.4GHz band utilizing OFDM technology.
This mean s that in most environments, within the specified ra nge of this device,
you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG
format over your network without noticeable delays. This technology works by
tran smitting high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology . OFDM works by splitting the ra dio
signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then tra nsmitted simulta neously
at different frequencies to the receiver . OFDM reduces the a mount of crosstalk
(interference) in signal transmission s. The D-Link D WL-AG530 will automatically
sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and
range possible.
802.11g offers the most advanced network security features available today,
including: WPA, WP A2, 802.1x, TKIP, AES and Pre-Shared Key mode.
The DWL-AG530 is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices. This means
that if you have an existing 802.1 1b network, the device s in that network will be
compatible with 802.1 1g devices at speeds up to 1 1Mbps in the 2.4GHz ra nge.

Installation Considerations
The D-Link AirPremier AG DWL-AG530 lets you acce ss your network, using a
wireless connection, from virtually a nywhere within its operating range. Kee p in
mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or
other objects that the wireless signals must pa ss through, may limit the range.
Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF
(radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing
wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-AG530 and
1
other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce
your D WL-AG530’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your
devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5
2
feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet
(1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters)
thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a
wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better rece ption.
3
Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door
or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position
wireless devices a nd computers with wireless ada pters so that the signal
passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.
TM
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical
4
devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

Getting Started
There are basically two modes of networking:
Infrastructure – using an access point or wireless router
such as the DWL-7100AP.
Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to a nother computer, for Peer-
to-Peer communication, using wireless network adapters on
each computer, such as two or more DWL-AG530 Wireless
PCI Adapters.
On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure
Network and a n Ad-Hoc Network.
An Infrastructure network contains an access point or a wireless router.

2. I cannot connect to the access point or the wireless router.
Make sure that the SSID on the D-Link DWL-AG530 Wirele ss PCI
Adapter is exactly the same as the SSID on the access point or
wireless router.
Move the DWL-AG530 and access point or wireless router into the
same room and then test the wireless connection.
Disable all security settings. (WEP, MAC Address Control, AES).
Make sure that the access point/router is not set to a different
frequency.
Turn off your access point and the computer with the D WL-AG530.
Turn on the access point, and then turn on the computer with the
DWL-AG530.
Refresh the D WL-AG530 Utility.
Make sure that the 802.11a access point and the adapter is set
to channel 52 a nd above in the 802.1 1a ba nd, because the D WLAG530 does not support channels 36-48 in the 802.11a band.
3. The DWL-AG530 Power and Link lights are not on.
Check to see if the DWL-AG530 PCI adapter is firmly inserted into
the PCI slot of your la ptop computer.
4. I forgot my Encryption key.
Reset the acce ss point to its factory default settings and restore the
D WL-AG530 PCI a dapter to the factory default settings.
5.
The computer does not recognize the D-Link DWL-AG530 Wireless PCI Adapter.
Make sure that the D-Link DWL-AG530 Wireless PCI Adapter is
properly seated in the computer PCI slot.
If Windows does not detect the hardware upon insertion of the
adapter, make sure to completely remove drivers that were
previously loaded. To remove the drivers, do the f ollowing:
37
Page 38
Troubleshooting (continued)
A. Under Tools> select Folder Options...> select View >
under Hidden file s a nd folders > select Show hidden
files and folders.
B. Uncheck Hide extension for known file types > click
on Apply.
C. Search for previously loaded driver files. Remove these
files from the INF and SYSTEM32 (DRIVERS) folders
in the Windows directory. Note: Windows XP and
Windows 2000 will rename .inf files that have not
received WHQL certification into oem.inf files (e.g.,
oem1.inf).
6. The computer with the DWL-AG530 installed is unable to connect
to the wireless network and/or the Internet.
Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are
indicating normal activity. If not, there may be a problem with the
broadband conne ction.
Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are functioning
properly. If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are
firmly connected.
Check that the IP address, subnet ma sk, gateway , a nd DNS settings
are correctly entered for the network.
In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set
Identifier (SSID) is specified on the settings for the wireless clients
and access points. The SSID factory default setting for the D-Link
products is default. (Double-click on the WLAN icon in the ta s kbar .
The Link Info screen will display the SSID setting).
In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the same
SSID. Plea se note that it might be nece ssary to set up one client to
establish a BSS (Ba sic Service Set) a nd wait briefly before setting
up other clients. This prevents several clients from trying to establish
a BSS at the same time, which ca n result in multiple singular BSSs
being established, rather than a single BSS with multiple clients
associated to it.
38
Page 39
Troubleshooting (continued)
Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is
configured properly. Select AP (Infrastructure) when connecting
to an access point and select Ad-Hoc mode when connecting
without an access point. Double-click on the WLAN icon in the
taskbar > click on Configuration to change the settings for the
wireless adapter.
If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys
are entered on both the DWL-AG530 and the a cce ss point. Doubleclick on the WLAN icon in the ta skbar > click Encryption. Check to
see that the key selected is set to the sa me key a s other devices on
the network.
If SuperA/G is enabled, make sure that Turbo mode is enabled on
all Turbo mode compatible devices in your network, in order to
communicate.
7. How can I avoid connection problems using the DWL-AG530?
Move the DWL-AG530 and the access point or wireless router into
the same room and then test the wireless connection.
Change the channel of the access point.
Move devices within the line of sight.
* Due to DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection), 5GHz Ad-Hoc mode is always disable in EEC countries.

Validate Server Certificate:
Check Validate Server Certificate to verify the identity of the authentication
server based on its certificate when using EAP-TTLS, PEAP, and EAP-TLS.
(This is checked by default.)
Certain protocols, such a s EAP-TTLS, PEAP, and EAP-TLS, allow you to
verify the identity of the authentication server as the server verif ies your
identity . This is called mutual authentication.
Y ou can select trusted authentication server certificates using the Add button
at the Trusted CA List (at the bottom of the Advanced Security Settings
page).
48
Page 49
Appendix
Definitions of Terms (continued)
Domain Name:
Each server has a domain na me that uniquely identifie s it. That domain na me is
normally contained in the Subject CN field of the server certificate. A server
domain name ends with the name of a larger administrative domain, to which
the server belongs.
TTLS Identity:
EAP-TTLS has a unique feature that other protocols do not offer. Because it
sets up an encrypted tunnel for your credentials, it is also able to pass your
login name through that tunnel. That means that not only are your credentials
secure from eavesdropping, but your identity is protected as well. Thus, with
EAP-TTLS you have two identities: an inner one, and an outer one. The inner
identity is your actual user name. Your outer identity can be completely
anonymous. Set your outer identity in the TTLS Identity field.
Trusted CA List:
The Trusted CA List allows you to configure which authentication servers
you trust for the purpose of logging you in to the network.
Click Add at the Trusted CA List at the bottom of the Adva nced Security Settings
page. Select the T rusted CA that you want to add and click OK.
